Hello everyone,

I know this seems so basic that it's almost embarrassing to ask for, but in regards to music scraping I simply cannot get MediaElch to work as I imagined it would work (edit: I thought it would read the tags already in the mp3 files, so that I don't have to go through everything again).

- All my MP3 files are tagged with Picard - ID3Tag v2.4.
- They are stored in Music/Artist/Album/Song.mp3
- MediaElch 2.8.6
- Windows 10

However, after adding the folders that contain music (in settings), and loading the files into MediaElch, there is absolutely no information to be found in any of the tag fields. All the music is detected, but all the tags are missing. I just don't get it. And searching for hours has not gotten me any closer to figuring this out. Which also suggests that I'm doing something wrong that everyone else just gets right away... But what is it??

If you can help me out or just point me in the right direction, it will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

I'm sorry but the "music" of MediaElch is very limited. We do _not_ support ID3 or similar tags at the moment.
That would take a lot of time, which I do not have at the moment.

MediaElch is limited to NFO files.

Ah cool, that makes sense. I just had the wrong expectations - and I couldn't find any information on whether ID3 tags were supported or not. I will just extract the NFO's and then use MediaElch afterwards. Awesome. Thanks for your reply and have a great day.
